Site Coordinator, Bridgeport, Culturally Responsive Person Centered Planning for People with Psychosis Grant
Professional Interests:
My research interests include processes of recovery from psychiatric and substance use disorders, especially innovative and community-based collaborations.
One of my focuses has been on how use of the arts, especially photography, informs a person’s personal journey and recovery, and can promote community health. With Kyle Pedersen and Lucile Bruce, I co-founded the Parachute Factory, an innovative arts collaborative between PRCH, the Community Services Network (CSN), and the
Arts Council of Greater New Haven. The project’s mission is to create inclusive projects in the visual and performing arts. We recently opened the Parachute Factory Gallery, located within the shared offices of PRCH and the CSN.
I am currently working on the Person Centered Planning Grant, based in Bridgeport, as well as other projects related to implementing person-centered planning around the state of CT. Other interests include humor and its role in recovery and wellness.
